The TV anime series Taishou Yakyuu Musume (Taishou-Era Baseball Girls) was produced by studio J.C. Staff and directed by Takashi Ikehata (Genshiken, Potemayo), based on a light novel series by Atsushi Kagurazaka. The original story is about two schoolgirls who set out to start a baseball team in 1925 Japan - a period when there aren't too many baseball teams to begin with, male or female. First though, the two girls have no idea where to find nine players, nor even what the rules and equipment is about.
